Guest guest Posted April 21, 1998 Report Share Posted April 21, 1998 Dear Bhaktas, I am at a loss for superlatives to describe the most wonderful Kaimkaryam for Lord Ranganatha undertaken by Sriman Sadagopan. His presentation of the Andal-Ranganathar Tirukalyanam with detailed meanings of the Vedic hymns rendered on that occassion is a like a shower of Amrutham. One salutation that particularly impressed me was the hymn Samraj~i.... This hymn recited in Saama Ganam is most majestic. In it is contained a benediction for the bride to be an empress in her new home. This is related to Samrajaya Lakshmi. Prior to her wedding to the Lord, Pattabishekam was performed for Thayar through a copious shower from the mighty clouds Pushkala and Avartaka. The one thousand gold Kalashams for this Kaimkaryam were brought by the Ashta Dikpalakas. Swami Desikan salutes this aspect of Thayar in verse 13 of the Sri Stuthi. Sri Sadagopan pointed out (in a private conversation with me) that Abishekavalli Thayar of TirukaNNamangai embodies this form of Periya Piratti.
